     A bill to amend 1909 PA 279, entitled

 

"The home rule city act,"

 

(MCL 117.1 to 117.38) by adding section 5k.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 5k. (1) If a city, village, or township levies a property

 

tax millage for certain services, and that city, village, or

 

township is consolidated with another city as provided under this

 

act, the governing body of the consolidated city may, if authorized

 

by its charter, establish by resolution a central city district

 

composed of the same boundaries as that city, village, or township

 

that levied the property tax millage for those certain services.

 

     (2) The question of whether the consolidated city may levy a

 

special assessment millage on property located in that central city

 

district to provide those certain services to the residents of the

 

central city district and the amount of the special assessment to

 

be levied shall be submitted to the electors of the central city

 

district at a general election or special election called for that

 

purpose. The consolidated city may levy the special assessment

 

millage on property located in the central city district only if a

 

majority of the electors in the central city district voting on the

 

question at a general election or special election approve the

 

special assessment millage.
